it told me sw_rst ....

that means what??

Re: find out why my n900 shut down
 

I think sw_rst happens after kernel panic occurs. You might be able to get more details from /dev/mtd2

is your device overclocked? if so, try lowering the frequency and/or raising the voltage.

It's a memory device that contains data, not a program that you run.You can copy it to a file by doing (as root):

cat /dev/mtd2 > mtd2dump

and then analyze the file mtd2dump with your favorite file viewer.
